Hey Anon! This is actually how Will's romance path starts. He starts the game as someone who doesn't do relationships. He claims it is because he is too busy and he has a high risk job so he thinks it is better to just have flings but there is a deeper reason than that.

And part two of chapter two is extra special for Military!MC because I get to add even more crippling expectations on them! Nothing like being lauded as the next great admiral and being part of a super special organisation where you are expected to stop the world from ending.

Hey Anon! Here is the answer, hopefully you enjoy.

Nico - He goes on a power trip and tries to fluster MC whenever he can. He will not relent until MC tells him to stop. He would be really happy that MC sees him in that light and it would add a spring to his step for like the next two weeks.

Astrid - She would be curious about the reaction and seek to experiment on what gets the best reactions. She would use her power wisely but like Nico, she would be pleased. Even if she won't show it outright.

Will - Relentless teasing. He would constantly be in MC's personal space and trying to get a reaction. He will constantly wear a shit eating grin because of it too.

Mina - She would be oblivious to MC's reactions at first but when she becomes aware she would find it amusing but not say anything until she has developed feelings for MC. If they are at the stage where both have feelings, she will lightly tease them in private.

Theo - If he had a tail, it would be wagging frantically behind him. He would not say anything because he would hate to embarrass MC but you are damn sure he is tracking everything they react to so he can do it more in the future.

Ara - She wouldn't react outwardly because she would be unsure if MC wants her to but if she sees signs of a crush then she will flirt more and make her interest known. She is not one to stand around and wait.

Ohh that is a really great question! I gave this quite a bit of thought while on bed rest because I never thought about it before.

Ara - She would take a while to notice it but when she does, she would savour the moments and hold it close to her heart. She wouldn't want to share MC's flustered expression with anyone else; reserving it for only herself. She would relentlessly flirt with them when they are alone.

Nico - He would be incredibly smug, unbearably so. He would make sure to flirt and touch them at any given moment and make sure everyone knows that MC is only like that with him. Watching MC be shy and fumble around him would be like a drug, he wouldn't be able to get enough.

Astrid - She would be curious at first. She would treat it like a science experiment, pushing MC's buttons to see what gets the best reactions. She would be unsure and in denial until she has gathered enough evidence to prove MC likes them and is only like that with her. After she is secretly very pleased but won't say anything, just flirting subtly in private.

Theo - He is as subtle as a brick to the face. He would be right next to MC in blushing and stumbling around. Knowing that MC may have feelings for him too? Nothing is safe around him. He will be walking into and tripping over everyhing while staring at MC being shy and red while thinking how lucky he is.

Mina - She would tease MC for being incredibly easy to read and tell them that they need to practice hiding their emotions. However, she is very happy and bragging to Will about it, even if she would never admit it out loud.

Will - Relentless teasing and flirting follows the discovery. He will not rest until he discovers just how red he can make MC go and what it will take to make them combust. MC will not know peace.

Mina: "You saw nothing and know nothing." For the first version, she would find it difficult to believe and would need time to accept the fact that MC could have feelings for her.

For the second, she would just threaten the person to keep their silence because she wouldn't want to burden MC with her feelings. Mina believes MC can do better than her.

Will: "Everyone looks at me." For the first version, Will would be his usual cocky and charming self on the outside. Technically he's not wrong, lots of people look up to him and are infatuated with him because of his position and status as a hero. Internally he would be curious and trying to judge what MC's true intentions are.

"I have eyes, and I appreciate good-looking people." He would deflect with a joke and wink for the second version. He would pass off any genuine feelings as a joke.

Ara: "Really?" She would be excited and try to play it cool but she would be practically vibrating on the spot. She would be torn between approaching MC and wanting to respect their privacy because maybe they still need to process their feelings.

For the second, she would blush and hurry away, claiming she has important paperwork to take care of. She doesn't deny it, she just doesn't want to be caught.

Theo: "Me?" He would be in disbelief and then beg the person to double check and make sure. He would be over the moon and thinking of ways to approach MC. (He will not be subtle at all)

Second version, he would sigh and continue to stare at them longingly. The poor person who noticed would then be regaled with why Theo likes MC and how they are the best and how he doesn't know how to ask them out.

Astrid: "I think you're mistaken." Astrid would be skeptical but the seed of doubt has been planted and she will watch MC more carefully. To her, she can't believe someone would have genuine feelings for her so she has to make sure.

Second version, she would retain her cool and composed expression and tell the person that they are mistaken. She would do a great job of deceiving the person but internally she is screaming.

Nico: His face is going on an entire journey. He doesn't know how to feel but he knows that it feels good to have MC look at him. He will need to spiral in his room for a few days with this knowledge.

"We are rivals! What you are seeing is just competitive spirit." He would hiss. He would be insistent that there is nothing to see and that MC and him have a friendly rivalry. A lot of stomping around will ensue and his face will be stained red.

Spencer: They are confirming whether what they said is true and then leaping at the opportunity. Immediately confessing their feelings to MC and trying to lock them down. They won't waste their shot.

Mina - "Don't you fucking dare say goodbye," Mina growls through tears, knuckles white as she clings onto your uniform, your body pressed tightly against hers. "You know I can't promise to return," you whisper, begging Mina to understand, your own tears threatening to fall. "Lie to me," she pleads, forehead pressing against your chest, "please..."

Nico - Glass smashes against the floor as Nico throws his holopad to the floor, his face red and twisted into a snarl. "Why you! They could have chosen anyone for this mission, why did it have to be you?!" You approach Nico slowly, hands stretched out. "You know it has to be me," You cup his face, wiping away his tears with your thumb. "Like hell it does," Nico spits out. He tugs you into a kiss, putting all his fears and anger into it.

Theo - Theo slowly takes off his charm bracelet, the bracelet you have never seen him without, and gently places it around your wrist. "The All Mother will watch over you. She will return you to me." He kisses your hand, clutching it to his face. "She has to."

Will - A deafening bang fills the air as Will punches the wall, his fist disappearing as he screams. "Fuck!" He brings his fist back, readying another punch. You grab his arm and you feel the fight leave his body, slumping against you. His voice hoarse as he says, "Please, I can't lose you. I can't..."

Ara - "I can fix this, I just need more time. I can find another squadron for the mission, I can-" Ara's hair frizzes under her frantic hands, her glasses askew. You slowly approach, pulling her hands away from her hair. "I have to go," you say softly, Ara crumbling into your arms. Her tears wet your neck as she cries, her body shaking.

The dnd obsession is spreading in my mind, which classes do you think you’d associate with each of the RO’s?

Hey birb! As a perma DM I was born ready to answer this question.

Nico - Bard. This may seem like an odd choice, but when you see more of his hangout scenes, you will understand.

Astrid - Artificer. One of my favourite classes ever and also very appropriate for Astrid! She is definitely an artillerist artificer as well.

Will - Fighter. He is totally the guy at the table who has like 8 attacks a round. And gets all the Nat 20s.

Mina - Monk. She has honed her body for combat and is an absolute beast with just her hands.

Theo - Paladin. Easy choice. No thought needed. The old gods will allow him to smite his enemies and he is already comfortable with a sword and shield!

Ara - Totem Barbarian. Now this might seem very out of place but later in the game it will make sense. Trust me.

Spencer - Warlock. They have given their soul for power and they wield it for good. Just beware their patron.
